Today is the 31st of January 2009. One year has passed since 31 January last year, and it has passed rather quickly. If I remembered correctly, it was Thursday last year.

Went down to Mandai with Jean, xj, siling, yx, sam, reb, rq, eq in the late morning to visit. Then, went around to our own relatives' plaques to visit. The Christian block is very empty. It hasn't even used up half of it's 1st (out of 3 floors) floor. Compared to the Buddhist side, that place is already filled to the end of the third floor. I still don't know why xjls wanted to be placed at the Buddhist side. Whenever I'm at Mandai, I think about the shortness of life. Regarding my brief analysis of the two blocks above, from the Christian perspective, it would be a reflection of how many people weren't saved, and how many might have been. The blocks just look too contrasting.

Then, had lunch together at amkhub before going to church for tf CNY activity - bai nian. We went to the Chinese students' house first, the zlds's, then azds's house, followed by our last stop, yx's house. My level of alertness was like an x^3 graph. Got sleepy after lunch, then awake at zlds's house, then alert for half the time at azds's house, and eventually in a sleep-state on the bus to yx's house. And of course, wide awake for dinner there. The yu sheng was really quite nice, and not forgetting the other stuff too.

CNY is a time of the year I always look forward to. Not just the red packets, but more importantly, the reunion. Maybe I'm just more family orientated, but it's always fun.

And another observation this week, music people are really comical. Just watching others choose what and who to do with for o level practical is quite funny (funny).
